Aileen Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Monave Minerals has great stuff if you want to just buy it. They also sell the ingredients if you want to make your own.http://monave.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 pricey, butit lasts a loooong time so it actually isn't expensive. and it gives great coverage without looking like you have a lot of makeup on. i have dry skin and ruptured blood vessels on the apples of my cheeks and the "Bisque" covers it very well. i like that it feels natural, like i'm not wearing any...especially in the hot summer.

Gypsyjen Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 I second what Laura said. A jar of Bare Minerals will last me 6-9 months, and it feels like you're not wearing any makeup at all. I could never go back to liquid foundation and that "cakey" feeling. Ick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca_IA Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Bare Minerals last a very long time and it holds up on the skin really well. My daughter has dance performances, once in May and then several over the summer. I put her makeup on and it stays put throughout several dances. Including the eye liner they sell. Very natural looking and easy to apply after learning how to do it.Cynthia on the soap dish use to sell starter kits to make your own mineral makeup, but I don't have her site book marked at home.Jill from the conservatorie also sells kits to make your own and she has a ton of formula's to start out with (Cynthia might also, but she didn't the last time I looked). Jill's site is www.theconservatorie.comI bought my daughter one of Cynthia's kits last year and we've made the base, blush and eye shadow. We haven't got the color for her base quite figured out yet, but the blush and eye shadows are really nice. Very easy to do, mixing them up is the hardest part, but if you have a mortar and pestle it really helps (I found ours at lotioncrafters).

Michi Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Ok checking out Jess' site, and I just have NO clue which color foundation and finishing powders to pick as samples. It's sooo hard to really know if the colors are true on a computer. Anyone who uses this have any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did buy a full jar of the mineral veil, but the rest I just sampled till I found what worked best for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
